Nacho Fernández, Dani Carvajal and Joselu Matochampions this Sunday of Euro 2024 after defeating England in the final played at the Olympic stadium in Berlin, completing the course of the ‘double’ of the continental national team championship and the Champions League won in Real Madrid.
From June 1, when their team beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley Stadium, to July 14, when Spain defeated England in Berlin, in a month and a half they won the two most prestigious titles of the campaign, before Nacho and Joselu start a new adventure in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, respectively.
This is not new, but it is unusual to achieve such a double in the history of the Euro Cup. The first was the Spaniard Luis Suárez, winner of the 1964 European Cup with Inter Milan and the second edition of the European championship with the Spanish team against the Soviet Union in the final played at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
Until 24 years later, no one joined the list. It was PSV Eindhoven, in 1988, the European club champion. And the Dutch team, the winner of the Euro Cup, against the Soviet Union, with R goalsuud Gullit and Marco Van Basten. Hans van Breukelen, Ronald Koeman, Berry van Aerle, Gerald Vanenburg and Wim Kieft They are part of the same team.
In 2000 it was done by the French Christian Karembeu and Nicolas Anelka, champion with him real Madrid in Paris of the highest European club competition and winners of the Euro Cup with France, while in 2012 the Spaniards achieved it Fernando Torres and Juan Matawho won the top of the clubs with Chelsea and then the national teams with Spain in the final in Kyiv, where they beat Italy 4-0.
In 2016 this was the case of Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepechampions at the San Siro with Real Madrid against Atlético de Madrid in a penalty shootout and Euro Cup winners against France at the Saint Denis stadium in Paris in extra time.
And in the previous edition, held in 2021, Jorginho and Emerson They achieved it with Chelsea in 2021 and then did it in Italy at Wembley against England.
